Tape hiss, a Roland JX-3P synthesizer, and deconstructed disco. The piece blends tropes from the blatant catwalk-house of the early 90’s with ambient landscapes, designed to compliment “HEY, I LIKE YOU”, Julian Klincewicz‘s ongoing work centered around connection, intimacy, and vulnerability.

Escondido, CA. In the spirit of buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, we use our music as a weapon to challenge the oppression. We combined our affection for free jazz with that of acid house, and we also recorded a choir at a local Episcopal church. This is our holiday single – an expression of love to override the fear that drives us to judgement of others. At a time of rampant racism, bigotry and hatred, we stand united, with love for all.

“The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process. Other struggles may be fueled by greed, hatred, fear, or ignorance, but a nonviolent one cannot use such blind sources of energy, for they will destroy those involved and also the struggle itself. Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.” (“Love in Action” by Thich Nhat Hanh)

Written, produced and performed by Viktor Sjöberg for FREE AKTION at Los Arboles Center for Self Development in Escondido, California.
